SACS vs Diocesan College<\/strong><\/p>\n

SACS<\/strong> hosts Bishops at 12:30 on Memorial Field<\/strong> on Saturday in the first southern suburbs’ derby of the season for both outfits.<\/p>\n

Last season, neither side won against the other. That’s because they shared 18-18 and 14-14 draws in 2025. Bishops was the most recent winner, but even then, there was almost nothing to separate the teams, with the home side triumphing 12-10 on the Piley Rees <\/strong>in August 2024.<\/p>\n

SACS will be licking their wounds. Since opening their season with back-to-back wins, they’ve suffered three consecutive losses – most recently a narrow 20-18 defeat to Ho\u00ebrskool Durbanville<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bishops, meanwhile, will have an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Should they win, it would mean a first southern suburbs’ scalp of the season for the side, and also a return to winning ways after they fell to their first loss of the season at the St John’s Easter Festival, going down 26-39 to Graeme College<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Both outfits boast inside centres who run good lines at speed, and are very handy playmakers, capable of finding space both for themselves and their teammates to exploit.<\/p>\n

SACS’s James Sale<\/strong> proved his abilities with two tries against Durbies<\/strong><\/em> last weekend, while Bishops’ Boytj\u00e9 Fyfer<\/strong> has also delivered many performances of a similar calibre in the past.<\/p>\n

Based on recent contests between the rivals, there should be little between them at the final whistle.<\/p>\n

Milnerton High vs Ho\u00ebrskool Brackenfell<\/strong><\/p>\n

Milnerton High lost their sixth match in a row against Ho\u00ebrskool Parel Vallei<\/strong><\/a> on Saturday. They’ll be aiming to take out their frustration at home against Ho\u00ebrskool Brackenfell<\/strong> when the sides kick off at 11:30.<\/p>\n

Brakkies<\/strong><\/em> haven’t been in their best form either, losing four of their five matches, including a 6-12 setback against Ho\u00ebrskool Bellville last Saturday.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

When they met at Brackenfell last year, Millies<\/strong><\/em> earned themselves a 22-8 triumph. This time out, it will likely be a closer affair between two units desperate to claim a victory.<\/p>\n

Ho\u00ebrskool Charlie Hofmeyr vs Ho\u00ebrskool Hopefield<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ho\u00ebrskool Charlie Hofmeyr<\/strong> hosts Ho\u00ebrskool Hopefield<\/strong> at 13:30 on Saturday. When they met last year in Hopefield, it was a tight clash, with Charlies<\/strong><\/em> emerging from it the 17-14 victors.<\/p>\n

Last Saturday, they were also on the winning side, downing Ho\u00ebrskool Strand<\/strong> 43-24. They’ll be confident of victory again. However, with the margin of victory being so close last time out, Hopefield will believe they, too, are in with a decent chance of victory.<\/p>\n
